I like to match the thread but it is your quilt and any way is fine...

I usually match thread to applique. No matter what stitch i'm doing. I tend to wander a bit.

I like the old 1930's look, so I'm voting for heavy black thread like they used. In the end it really won't matter because Sue looks good no matter what.

Check this Google images selection. Sue has been appliqued every which way. Pick the one you love.

Wow - I Google/image a lot of things but hadn't thought about SBS images - that really gets the old imagination going. Thank you for mentioning it.

I made a sunbonnet sue quilt and used black thread with a buttonhole stitch.
